Leaders inspire people.
I tweeted this the other day after being challenged about this from someone else.
He really got me thinking.
Am I inspiring people every day?
Who am I inspiring?
How can I inspire others?
As you probably want to do, I want to make the most of each and every day.
So, within my daily routine I am now looking for ways to inspire others.
I’m still working on the way this will look. I am cautious to say that all inspiration is intentionally done. I would almost say the opposite.
This view is just from my experience.
When others have inspired me, they had already weaved the inspiration into their lives. Whether it be the parent or friend they had become, the awards or recognition they had recieved or the many lives they had changed without even knowing.
But, maybe since most other things are done intentionally, inspiring can be another one of those things.
Seriously, how do you inspire?
We All Need To Be More Intentional
Sometimes I’m so busy living for the future, that I forget about today. I take the time to plan all these huge goals and try to setup the future to be bright. I probably miss out on opportunities on a daily basis that I would have seen if I would have been more intentional about them.
I forget how important it is to make Jasmine’s day.
I forget how important it is to make sure others know I care.
I forget about the kid whose dad isn’t around to play catch with them.
I forget about how important it is to just smile.
I forget that some people just need me.
People need you, too. They need you to be you. This is what “being intentional” is to me.
